🔬 STEM Fields Are Booming

Science, technology, engineering and mathematics careers offer strong job growth and high salaries. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that STEM employment will grow 8.1% from 2024 to 2034, compared with 2.7% for non‑STEM fields. Median pay for STEM occupations in 2024 was about $103,580 – more than double that of non‑STEM jobs.
